I Sing in the Shower



I sing in the shower
Because America doesn't want to hear
The song I'd like to sing to them,
They like to rip me up
And say that I don't sing it right.
I don't sing the way
They'd like me to,
They try to make me, I won't budge.
For some strange reason
It gets to them
That I won't fit into their bubble.
They say that I can't sing right.
My voice, it is disabled.
That I should go sing elsewhere
Or maybe never sing at all,
Or if I try, I should just hum,
Or maybe even whistle.
But no one will stop me
From being myself.
